Restaurant Shows More Skin — Potato Skin

From ThinkProgress:

Atomic Grill, a barbecue restaurant in West Virginia, recently got an UrbanSpoon review that owner Daniel McCawley felt went too far: it wanted his staff to “show more skin.”

“I’m willing to accept any kind of criticism on food or service, but not the way that we have too many clothes on,” he told ThinkProgress. Worse, the review (which has since been deleted) singled out one female server in particular and “got a little obsessive, a little creepy,” he said, to the point where coworkers walked her to her car when she left. “I’m a father and a husband, I’ve got five sisters,” he said. “So this sort of thing hit home especially hard for me.”

His response wasn’t to lash out at the reviewer, however. Instead, the restaurant is offering a potato skins special, selling them for $7 through Memorial Day, asking customers to “Come out and help Atomic show our skins! Potato skins, that is!”

A sign at the restaurant reads:
WE WILL
BE DONATING
100%
OF OUR POTATO SKINS
SALES TO THE FOUNDATION
FOR RAPE INFORMATION

The policy is in effect through Memorial Day, and the owner says that he’s had a great response, from as far away as Australia.
